Since last time

Polderland

  • InDesign Windows/Mac (Mac: bugfix release): ready to be dropped. No installers yet, memory leak in Windows version is constant (15K per session), probably in InDesign, not in our speller. Won't be fixed.
  • South Sami: waiting for sample text in Norwegian explaining how we torture our employees).
  • bugs: started investigation (situation unchanged) 603: suffix in middle of word is not necessarily illegal, cf compound border markers

Divvun

  • most linguistic bugs fixed for the 1.1 release, some minor ones left
  • M&S answer received - we have some questions, will probably formulate them in a letter to PL - pause during Christmas holidays, will return to it now
  • planned 1.1 release: finally released it on the last day of 2008
  • South Sámi offer: pause during Christmas - will continue now

Bug status

Solved/cancelled

Nothing new since last time.

To be solved/investigated by Divvun

Div Pld Description
621 xxx other hyphenator bugs. PB: not as much incorrect as well as weird-looking.
630 xxx Word (prefix) with hyphen is rejected - and suggested
652 xxx UPPERCASE-typos only get acronym-suggestions: VARI -> no sugg, vARI -> VÁRI as sugg; consequence of the sugg. mechanism, unresolvable
581 xxx consonant doubling => actual problem is suggestions with hyphens (split compound type); these can be blocked as suggestions, and thus be removed (they would still be recognised, though)
670 xxx REGRESSION: hard hyphen replaced with soft, see latest test results - since this was fixed earlier, and the hyphenation binary has not changed since then, we should investigate this first to see if we produce illegal PLX entries.

Under investigation by Polderland

Div Pld Description
581 xxx consonant doubling
595 xxx problem with prefix containing hyphens
603 xxx suffix is accepted in the middle of a word
613 xxx speller does not accept 'Ga' tagged word as 2nd part
670 xxx Hard hyphen replaced by soft hyphen. Regression? Check for v. 1.1
679 xxx Discretionary/soft hyphen not respected - repaired, repaired code to be dropped
